PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I catch the news and hear of more and more children and women being hurt physically and mentally daily..but imagine all those people out there that aren't being noticed and they are being hurt more and more day by day and not sure how to escape it..and if they are children..imagine how their life will be effected...Just stop and think for a minute..if we find one child abuser or rapist, imagine how many more there are out there that we don't know about...

i dedicate this to my 1st ex, Rachael

This isn't one of my best, I guess I just wasn't in the right mood.

"Why is it called Darkness 2?" Well, I had written a poem when I was 14 called Darkness. When I was 16, I went on a mad spree and threw away alot of the poetry I had written because I thought they were stupid... Actually they were lol. There are very few from 16 and below I am willing to share with people coz thats when I felt I gained a clue. It's called Darkness 2 coz the first 4 or 5 lines are from that one I threw away, and I rewrote the rest of it. Hence, the 2 part.

No, I was not suicidal at
this time, nor was palnning, or had EVER planned, to do it in this fashion---although I have made suicide attempts in the past, I no longer believe in it, nor do it.
This poem came, once again, as result of another one of my writing
"warm-ups."  Just like a
runner must flex his/her
muscles before what they
do, writers have to "flex
their muscles"---a thing,
I must confess, not done
daily.  Shame on me.

   "Warm-ups" can bring out the strangest ideas,
can't they?

  Oh, did some "cross-
wording"---at least I call it that---w/another
one of my poems, as you will see upon gracing my
portfolio.  

  Once again, "memento
mori" stands for a reminder---OF DEATH. And
if receiving years of systematic child abuse in
just about every way ISN'T death, I don't know
what is.  This DID happen
to me.

"Warm-ups":  Strange what
they bring out, isn't it?
